Interline Passengers
Now that the Heathrow route nears its end, lets hope that KLM see the light and up capacity, either with larger aircraft or more rotations, or preferably both!
B737 variants would be able to make use of the Runway 32 CatIII facility, unlike the Fokker jets.
Fingers crossed.

PIA No Fly
I was going to ask that same question, regarding the the PIA flight to Islamabad....why is she still on the Tarmac at Leeds...i watched her come in last night, and i listened to the landing on my scanner, i didnt hear anything about damaged to this aircaraft.....does anyone have an answer to this....what damage, and how did this occur......this is going to cause some backlogging to the rest of the PIA services.....It's amazing how these can happen, i wonder if this will effect the operation of flying 3x a week. starting Monday from Leeds...
Runway 32/14,
As far as I am aware, an airport service vehicle, type/operator unknown, had an inadvertent collision with the aircraft, resulting in one of the doors being rendered inoperative. I don't know if it was a hold or passenger door. That is all I know.
I'd be amazed if PIA used this seemingly isolated incident as a reason to question the wisdom of operating the route three times a week.

I guess gaffa tape has a million uses..lol
It's a pitty that PIA couldnt send another A310 to Leeds, that would have been a good photo opportunity to see two PIA A310 on the Tarmac at Leeds...

To be honest..there really isnt that much between the fokker 100 and the 70...okay the fokker 100 carries 23 more paxs..and is about 5 metres longer than the fokker 70.....but thats all really, who is really going to notice..they are both small aircraft basically no more than a shuttle service...

PIA Incident
From what I can work out from hearing various stories, the PIA aircraft was parked on Stand 13 or 14, during the offload an Interserve ambulift (which has been on station about a week) was going to take a wheelchair passenger through door R1.
Except it was positioned too far right, so when the ambulift body was raised it clipped the front cargo door causing a failure of the hydraulics, and the door slammed shut. AFAIK the cargo door is no longer flush with the cargo door, as the resultant force of door falling has caused ripples in the skin, no idea about the hydraulics.

Try telling that to the 90-100 pax who use the service every monday morning, as well as other busy times such as Friday/Saturday mornings.
Well i dont know how they are going to fit 90-100 pax into an aircraft that can only carry 80..

I took my final flight to LHR yesterday, BD417 19 pax total. Very sad.

I heard recently that, The 'Writing' was on the wall back in the 90's about the LHR route slots!!
But BD continued with it regardless.
An ex DC9 Driver told a friend that.
